Supervision
A queue built for thirty-note Fridays.
Most supervision tools were built as someone's afterthought. Praxnote's was built first, on conversations with clinical supervisors who carry real caseloads. One screen. Clear decisions. A record that survives the year.
How the queue works
Three decisions. Each one with its own follow-through.
Every supervision moment falls into one of three buckets. Praxnote gives each its own action and its own record, so nothing dissolves into a "we'll talk about it later" that nobody writes down.
Approve
For the notes that meet your standard. One click. The note is finalized with your signature on the record, and the supervisee gets a quiet confirmation. If you want to approve a batch of clean notes at once, you can — Praxnote always shows you how many you're about to approve and asks you to confirm before anything is committed.
Send back
For notes that need another pass. Write a short comment about what needs to change, and the note returns to the supervisee with your reason visible on their dashboard. They make the changes and resubmit. The conversation stays attached to the note — you don't lose the thread three weeks later.
Set aside for supervision
For notes that don't need a rewrite but do raise something worth discussing — a clinical pattern, a boundary question, an ethics consult. Flag it. Praxnote keeps the flagged items together so you can pull them up at your next supervision meeting without having to remember which one belonged to which supervisee.
For supervisees
Sign your own work. Or wait for review first.
Praxnote's default is for supervisees to sign their own notes, with the supervisor reviewing afterward. For training programs, post-graduate residencies, or any practice where supervision is licensure-required, that default can be flipped — the supervisor reviews first, and the note can't be finalized until they approve. The choice is the practice's, set once by an admin, not asked of every supervisee every time.
Why post-signature review is the default
For licensed clinicians under collaborative supervision, signing one's own work is part of the clinical maturity the supervisor is trying to develop. The record and the queue ensure nothing falls through; the supervisee still owns the decision.
Why pre-signature is one click away
Training programs and pre-licensure supervisees often have to have a supervisor's signature on every note. When a practice sets that mode, supervisees see their notes sitting in the supervisor's queue and know they're waiting. The supervisor approves, edits, or returns; the note becomes final when they're satisfied.
The supervision record
The things you don't want to have to remember.
Every approval, signed and dated
If a licensing board, an attorney, or your own future self ever asks who reviewed what when, the record is complete, exportable, and clear.
Every return, with its reason and resolution
When you send a note back with a comment, the reason is preserved and stays attached to the note. When the supervisee resubmits, the conversation is right there. Nothing has to live in a Slack thread or your memory.
Meeting prep, on a page
For your next supervision meeting, Praxnote can give you a clean summary of everything you flagged for a given supervisee — printable, shareable, ready to walk in with.
Nothing destructive by accident
Approving a batch, voiding a return, deleting a flag — Praxnote always asks before anything that can't be undone, and shows you exactly what will happen. The keyboard is fast; the safety stays on.

A walk-through, on supervisor terms.
Bring (or use a sample queue we have ready) a recent week of supervisee work. We'll walk through approving the clean ones, sending one back with a comment, flagging one for next week's meeting, and printing the meeting prep — about fifteen minutes.
